Rescheduling and New Games. BLA will not schedule make-up games or any extra games. Coaches can elect to add or make-up games on their own. As a HOST, if you need to cancel, you are not mandated to reschedule. Rather, coaches are responsible for all reschedules at their discretion. To reschedule or to add a game, coordinate a potential date/time/location with the opposing team and then contact Jermey Sullivan to determine the avaiilability of officials. If Jeremy can schedule available officials, he will confirm that game and add it to ArbiterSports.com. The Team can then include that additional game on their Team schedule on the Verona Lacrosse Club website and notify parents according. In NO case are teams to work directly with officials on game scheduling. All games and related changes must be approved and scheduled through Jeremy Sullivan.
